RIP John Ian Mansfield AKA Johnim

[Justin]

It is With Extreme sadness that we have to announce the passing of our dear friend and Community member John Ian Mansfield aka Johnim

John has been a massive supporter and a key member within our Community and almost everyone has, at some point, had dealings with him. He was loved and respected by us all for the beautiful human being that he was and the example he set.

John was a very hard-working father, married to the lovely Aimee and together they built a beautiful family unit with John being idolised by all his children and always being very protective and caring of them.

Nothing will bring John back, but, perhaps, we as a Community can do something to help his family by offering some small financial support, and so a fundraiser has been started.

If you are able to donate it would be very much appreciated and please know that every penny will go to Aimee to help her and her children through these difficult days.
Please make donations, any amount will be received with thanks and donations can be sent via paypal to donations@amibay.com - make sure you add a note ‘Johnim’

John will always be remembered by us all, both here and in retro circles across the Web.

Rest in Peace dear friend and colleague.

I am lost for words. John was a great help to me when we did Replay at the Manchester Play Expo. I am gutted and will miss him greatly. My heart goes out to his family at this time.

RIP John my friend....

Will be strange to go so long without waking up to a message from him 'Morning b***hes'... always started my day with a smile...

I was shocked beyond words to hear of John's sad untimely passing this morning. He was a kind, gentle guy and absolutely devoted to his family and the community.

I have loads of good memories of John from our time setting up the Amibay stalls and events all over the country. Always one of the first to donate his time, hard work and enthusiasm. He will be sorely missed.

My heartfelt condolences to his family who have lost a helluva husband, father and son.

RIP old chap. :sad:
